February 16, 2009 by Robb Dunewood 9 Comments

We just heard that Bolt, the free mobile web browser that acts kind of like a desktop browser, just came out of private beta into public beta and that a brand new release is now available to all for download.

Here is a list of some of Bolt’s features:

  • Streaming flash video capabilities
  • WebKit rendering engine offers high standards compliance
  • Support for XML, ATOM and RDF formats of RSS feeds
  • Support for JavaScript and AJAX
  • Split screen and full screen modes for easy navigation and viewing
  • Intuitive keystroke shortcuts for easier navigation and content selection
  • 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption for secure access to web pages
  • Server filtering to protect users from spyware and other malware
  • Certificate error notification
  • Easily add and select favorites and view browsing history
  • Ability to clear history and cookies

Bolt is a free BlackBerry download that you can try out for yourself here.

    It may be out of private beta, but it still shows a form to request to join the beta after hitting download.

    I found this browser to be more of a headache than anything. Installed it on my curve 8330, tested it, works fine but is not any faster than the standard browser as claimed. Also the scroll movement was very twitchy as if trying to move a cursor on a low memory computer screen. The only upside I have found so far is that I can actually run two seperate browsers at once which could possibly come in useful during some situations I have encountered before. I will keep it around awhile and see if it grows on me………or not.
